CHRISTINE LAHTI, BRIAN KERWIN AND BRYAN BROWN STAR IN "REVENGE OF THE MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN," A NEW TELEVISION MOVIE TO BE BROADCAST SEPT. 26 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

REVENGE OF THE MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN stars Christine Lahti ("The Book of Ruth"), Brian Kerwin ("Common Ground") and Bryan Brown ("Footsteps") in a light-hearted television movie to be broadcast as the �CBS Sunday Movie,� Sunday, Sept. 26 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. The story revolves around a woman who, after being unceremoniously dumped by her husband of 25 years, discovers that the best in her life is yet to come.

Rose (Lahti) first meets Nathan Lloyd (Kerwin) on a plane the day her relationship with Hal Thorne (Brown), an adventurer and author who doesn't want to be tied down, ends. Twenty-five years later, after marrying, having two kids and working together at a newspaper, Nathan informs Rose that he's met someone new and is leaving her behind. Adding insult to injury, Nathan's new love is none other than Mindy (Abby Brammell), Rose's ambitious young assistant. Rose intends to keep her sanity by throwing herself into her work, but soon learns that her job as book editor is being given to Mindy as well.

Alone and jobless, Rose's first response is to bury herself under the covers. However, her survival instinct and sense of humor come to the rescue and, slowly but surely, she begins to rally. Though her life has taken a turn that she never imagined was even possible, Rose finds that there are interesting new possibilities that lay ahead.
